FEAR OF DEPORTATION, CHURCH ATTENDANCE AND HEALTH CARE USE
Fear of Deportation is not Associated with Medical or Dental Care Use among Mexicanorigin Farmworkers served by a Federally-Qualified Health Center – Faith-Based
Partnership: An Exploratory Study.
Abstract
Migrant and seasonal farmworkers face many health risks with limited access to health care and
promotion services. This study explored whether fear of deportation (as a barrier), and church
attendance (as an enabling factor), were associated with medical and dental care use among Mexicanorigin farmworkers. Interviews were conducted with 179 farmworkers who attended mobile services
provided by a local Federally-Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in partnership with area churches,
during the 2007 agricultural season. The majority of respondents (87%) were afraid of being
deported, and many (74%) attended church. Although about half of participants reported poor/fair
physical (49%) and dental (58%) health, only 37% of farmworkers used medical care and 20% used
dental care during the previous year. Fear of deportation was not associated with use of medical or
dental care; while church attendance was associated with use of dental care. Findings suggest that
despite high prevalence of fear of deportation, support by FQHCs and churches may enable
farmworkers to access health care services.

FEAR OF DEPORTATION, CHURCH ATTENDANCE AND HEALTH CARE USE
Introduction
Migrant and seasonal farmworkers (MSFWs) are key contributors to the sustained growth of
agriculture in the United States. In Oregon, the estimated 170,000 MSFWs and their dependents
create over $3 billion in annual agricultural economic activity [1]. Despite their substantial economic
contributions, MSFWs suffer a myriad of social disadvantages (e.g. low socioeconomic and
undocumented immigration status; limited English proficiency; unsafe occupational and housing
conditions; stigma and marginalization), which have a direct impact on their health [2-5]. The few
studies that have examined health care utilization among this vulnerable population find that despite
their marked disease burden, use of medical and dental care services remain significantly low [6-9].
Mainly linked to documentation status, fear of deportation has been considered a major barrier for
using health care among immigrant populations, including farmworkers [3, 4, 10-12]. However, few
studies have actually measured the prevalence of fear of deportation and its effect on use of health
care services. In two studies, 39% of participants mentioned that fear of deportation limited their
ability to seek health care services [13, 14]. In turn, another study found that although 20% of
participants were undocumented, only 6% feared that accessing health care services would lead to
problems with immigration authorities [15]. One of the reasons for this low level of fear of
deportation may be that health care services are provided by “trusted” providers, such as federallyqualified community health centers (FQHCs) [16, 17].
Other “trusted” institutions for immigrant and farmworker communities may include
churches, some of which go beyond strictly spiritual to more “tangible” forms of support (e.g.
providing food, clothing) for their members. Church attendance (a topic widely studied among
African-Americans) is considered a relevant factor of positive health care practices, particularly for
uninsured and chronically ill populations [18, 19]. Recent research shows that tangible forms of
3

church-based support (e.g. health-related programs/screenings, educational materials) may facilitate
health care access [20, 21] and health promotion efforts [20, 22, 23] among Latinos. However, very
little research has examined the support churches may provide to rural Latino immigrant
populations, including MSFWs [24].
The purpose of this study was to explore the associations between fear of deportation, and
church attendance with utilization of medical and dental care among Mexican-origin farmworkers in
Oregon who attended mobile services offered by a local FQHC in partnership with area churches.
Methods
Study Design & Participants
In this IRB-approved cross-sectional study, interviews were conducted with 179 Mexican-origin
indigenous and mestizo migrant farmworkers as part of the Migrant Health Outreach Project
(MHOP) in rural Northwest Oregon during the 2007 agricultural season. In Mexico, mestizos (people
of mixed European/Caucasian and Native American/Indigenous ancestry), are viewed as
mainstream (majority), unlike in the U.S. where the mainstream is understood as white [25].
MHOP partnered with Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center (VGMHC)’s Migrant Camp
Outreach Program, which provides medical treatment and health education to migrant and seasonal
farmworkers (MSFW) living and working in local migrant labor camps. From May through August,
the Center sends a team of providers, nurses, and health educators to the camps to provide on-site
treatment and education. Health Educators provide education on sexually transmitted diseases,
pesticide exposure, and prevention of work related injuries. As needed, patients are referred to one
of VGMHC centers and connected to other resources. More recently, VGMHC has partnered with
local area churches to provide additional resources (e.g. food, clothing) to MSFWs.

FEAR OF DEPORTATION, CHURCH ATTENDANCE AND HEALTH CARE USE
Participants (ages 18 or older) were recruited at eight labor camps served by the outreach
program. After workers accessed mobile services, trained interviewers (who worked for the outreach
program) described the study and invited them to participate. Per IRB guidelines, approval did not
allow us to recruit participants at workers’ residences. The number of participants ranged from five
at one of the smaller camps to over 40 at the largest camp.
Bilingual/bicultural researchers and health practitioners worked together in the translation
and back-translation of the survey questionnaire that utilized culturally and linguistically meaningful
terms appropriate for use with a rural, Mexican-origin population with little formal education. All
interviews were conducted in Spanish. Participants were offered a stipend of $20 to a local grocery
store as compensation for taking part in the interviews, which averaged approximately 75 minutes in
length.
Measures
Two outcome measures were included: (a) Use of medical care, measured by the question “Have you
been to the doctor in the last twelve months? (Yes/No); and (b) Use of dental services, measured by
the question “Have you been to the dentist in the last twelve months? (Yes/No). Both measures
excluded use of screening services at the time of interviews. The conceptual framework for this
study is the Behavioral Model of Access to Care for Vulnerable Populations (BMVP) [26]. Following
the BMVP model, covariates were classified as predisposing (female, age, indigenous, educational
level, married, family members living in the U.S.); enabling (fear of deportation, church attendance,
having health insurance, home ownership) and need factors (poor/fair physical health and poor/fair
dental health, respectively) [26]. Indigenous Mexican status was assigned through asking participants
if they self-identified as indigenous, or if they, their parents, or their grandparents, spoke any
5
FEAR OF DEPORTATION, CHURCH ATTENDANCE AND HEALTH CARE USE
indigenous Mexican languages (e.g., Mixteco, Zapoteco, Triqui) [27]. Fear of deportation was measured
using a single-item that inquired to what extent study participants experienced fear of the
consequences of deportation ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much). Church attendance was
measured using a 4-point Likert item asking, “How often do you attend religious services?” (Ranging
from 0=not at all to 3= very much). Both fear of deportation and church attendance were
dichotomized (0= not at all, 1 = all other values) for multivariate analyses.
Statistical Analysis
Summary statistics were calculated for all study variables. Chi-square (categorical variables) and twotailed t-test (continuous variables) were used to explore bivariate associations with use of medical
and dental care services. All analyses were conducted using the PASW 18 statistical software (SPSS
Inc., Chicago, IL).
Results
--- Insert Figure 1 about here --As depicted on figure 1, the majority of workers (87%) were afraid of deportation; while three out of
four workers (74%) attended religious services. Almost half of the workers (49%) said they had
poor/fair physical health; while 58% said they had poor/fair dental health. Only over a third of
farmworkers (37%) used medical care and even less (20%) used dental care in the previous twelve
months. In addition, very few workers had health insurance (13%). Table 1 shows the summary
statistics for all study variables. Over two thirds of farmworkers interviewed were male (71%),
indigenous (69%), and married (69%), with an average age of 31 years. On average, respondents had
five years of formal education and four family members living in the U.S.

Table 2 shows the bivariate associations of predisposing, enabling and need factors by use of
medical and dental care, respectively. Fear of deportation was not associated with use of medical or
dental care. Female gender (χ2= 18.19, p < .01), education (t= 1.99, p < .05), and health insurance
(χ2= 4.68, p < .05) were significantly associated with use of medical care; while church attendance
(χ2= 9.21, p < .01) was significantly associated with use of dental care.

Discussion
The present study explored the associations between fear of deportation and church attendance with
use of medical and dental care among Mexican-origin farmworkers in rural Oregon who attended
mobile services offered by a local FQHC in partnership with area churches. The most significant
finding was that although fear of deportation was highly prevalent in this population (87%), fear of
deportation was not significantly associated with use of medical and dental care among study
participants. This finding may be explained by the systematic and culturally appropriate outreach the
local FQHC has provided to MSFW labor camps in the area over the past three decades. In other
words, despite high levels of fear of deportation in general, workers did not perceive that accessing
services provided by the FQHC would get them in trouble with immigration authorities. This
finding is similar to a qualitative study in El Paso, TX, which found that trusted community-oriented
health care services may enable undocumented Mexican immigrants to connect with such services
[28]; and other studies that highlight the importance of “trusted” providers, such as local FQHCs or
free clinics [16, 17], to provide health care services for this population.
In general, the percentage of workers using medical (37%) and dental (20%) care during the
previous twelve months was low, comparable to previous studies [7-9]. As shown on figure 1, the
7
FEAR OF DEPORTATION, CHURCH ATTENDANCE AND HEALTH CARE USE
higher levels of fair/poor physical and dental health and the comparatively lower levels of use of
medical or dental care may be indicative of the reality of farmworkers who often work sick rather
than miss work, and face out-of-pocket expenses and other challenges [2, 3, 29].
Similar to recent research [20, 24, 30], church attendance was a significant enabling factor for
using dental services among this sample of Mexican-origin farmworkers. This effect may be
explained by the support various local church groups provided to farmworker families at the study
sites. However, the same was not true for medical care. A possible explanation for this effect is that
basic medical services were indeed offered by the Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) serving
the labor camps. However, dental services for adults were not provided by the FQHC. It is
understandable then, that churches focused their efforts on supporting access to dental services. We
observed that each of the labor camps, where these workers were interviewed and temporarily
resided, had a “sponsoring” church that served as a support group. Representatives from these
churches were observed visiting the labor camps and offering various basic necessities.
Results from this study should be considered in the context of its limitations. First, due to
funding and staffing constraints, we were not able to provide an interpreter for indigenous workers
who did not speak Spanish. Therefore, only indigenous and mestizo workers who spoke Spanish
were interviewed for this study. Second, the relatively small sample prevented us from carrying out
meaningful inferential analyses (a table with multivariate logistic regression results is available from
the authors upon request). Third, given the cross-sectional study design, cause-effect relationships
should be interpreted with caution. Fourth, measuring key variables (fear of deportation & church
attendance) with single questions may have limited their validity and reliability. However, previous
studies have measured fear of deportation with a single question [13, 14]. Fifth, our non-probability
sample was limited to Mexican-origin farmworkers located in a small geographic area in Northwest
Oregon who attended mobile screenings provided by a local FQHC. Therefore, findings may be
8
FEAR OF DEPORTATION, CHURCH ATTENDANCE AND HEALTH CARE USE
biased (due to sample self-selection) and not be generalizable to farmworkers who did not attend the
mobile screenings in the study area, or to other farmworker populations elsewhere.
Nevertheless, this exploratory study contributes to the literature in two relevant ways: 1) it
proposes that the association between fear of deportation and use of health care services may be
weakened or even non-existent when services are offered by a “trusted” local provider, such as an
FQHC; 2) other community-based organizations, such as churches, may be able to supplement the
support offered by FQHCs to expand use of health care services for MSFWs. Future research
should explore the fear of deportation-use of health care link with more robust sample sizes and on
diverse settings. The same should be true for the church attendance-use of health care link. For
instance, we found that while only 22% of those who did not fear deportation used medical care,
40% who did fear deportation used medical care. Although the difference was not statistically
significant, future research should explore this “paradox” further. Also, developing multi-item scales
should be considered for more comprehensively capturing both the fear of deportation and the
church attendance/support constructs.
From a policy perspective, it is important for various stakeholders (e.g. policy makers; health
care providers; the agriculture industry) to collaboratively develop alternatives for expanding
coverage for this population. This is particularly relevant since the recently upheld federal health care
law excludes undocumented workers from receiving any health insurance benefits or even
purchasing health insurance on their own [11, 12]. As health reform implementation is developed at
the state level, relevant insurance and health care schemes should consider provisions to increase
health care coverage to farmworkers [11]. Finally, reinforcing the role of FQHCs [4, 7, 8] and its
articulation with mobile clinics [11] and other non-profits’ outreach efforts [9], including faith-based
organizations [20-23], may be instrumental in expanding and strengthening health care services to
this vulnerable population.
